AcclimAtiOn.

There is a great deal written on
the accimation of trees and shrubs
taken northward from any locality.
The matter is very much misunder-
stood. Individual plants, as all ex-
perience has proved, cannot be accli-
mated by any amount of care. Neither
will offshoots from tender sorts show
any more hardness than their parents,
though they may continue to spring up
and be killed down for an indefinite
series of years. The only way to effect
the acclimation of any species of tree
or shrub is through reproduction from
seed. This is often effected by nature,
the same species growing along north
and south ridges and valleys over many
degrees of latitude. There may be
absolutely no distinguishable difference
between individuals at the south end
and the north end of their range, yet
plants taken from the South and planted
at the North will prove exceedingly
tChuCls anu SCCtlllnSS SlONh llOHl
southern plants will show the same re-
sult-they will be winter-killed even in
a mild winter, where seedlings of
northern parentage survive unframed.
There is both warning and lesson to
tree-growers in these facts, too little
known or needed as they are. Whether
we plant ornamental trees or fruit trees,
or desire to grow seedlings in the cold
North, the whole outcome will be a
failure if we disregard the limits and
limitations of natural acclimation. Lon
gitudinal acclimation, if we may use
the term, is the work of ages. Nature
has time for any amount of failures,
and can wait, if it gains but an inch a
year, in working any species further
north or south from its original hab-
itat. The brief span of mans life is
as nothing in the balance. We " may
travel fast and travel far, if we hitch
our wagon to a STAR" the poet tells
us-meaning if we will intelligently
appropriate and make use of the forces
of nature in our attempts at progression.
Let those who engage in tree-culture
of any sort at the North bear this in
mind. Let them grow seedlings-the
more the better-but let them take the
seeds they plant from the hardest
trees to be found. If they do this
they will occasionally produce a tree
harder than its parent. From this
tree, if seed is again planted, seedlings
may be selected harder and as good as,
or better than, the original stock. There
is hope in this method. Let us grow
seedlings by all means, but let US do it

Tested Recipes.

CLOVES, or the oil of them, are said
to be the most effective moth preventa-
tive or destroying agent.
REMOVING FAT.-Fat can be be en-
tirely removed from broth for the sick
by placing white paper on top, every
globule adhering to it.
COOKIES One cup of butter rubbed
i'm, one cup of sugar, four cups of
flour, two eggs, two-thirds of tea
spoonful of soda. Roll thin.
SAUsAGE.-For twenty pounds of
meat use ten ounces of salt, two
ounces of sage, one large tablespoon
full of pepper and the same of ginger.
PARSNIPs.-Boil until tender; slice
into buttered dish, cover with broth
or milk and bread crumbs; pepper and
salt Add lastly, if liked, layer of
grated cheese. Bake a golden brown.

Farm and Garden Notes.

If you whip the horse for shying you
are making the habit worse.
GRASS is the most favorable crop that
can be grown, from the fact that it re-
quires but little capital, labor or ma
chinery.
THERE is a shortage of winter apples
in all the large cities. This is an I'M
happy omen for the cities, but good
thing for the farmers.
IN Flanders the urine of cattle is
saved separately from the solid excre-
ment, and is sold to gardeners at the
rate of SO per cow for a year.
A MIXTURE of lard and kerosene,
equal parts, rubbed on the legs of fowls
once a week, three or four weeks, will
remove the scabby scale from their legs.
Now is the time to buy, to build, tC
ditch, in short, to provide yourselves
with things which you will need in the
near future. Buy clothing, make i'm
provements. We have reached bottom
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1887-01-19

of three such cuttings in season can
be had. In this respect his expert
ments are analogous to those of the
editor of the Rural NeW Yorker, who
often exceeds eight hundred bushels,
and has several times exceeded one
thousand bushels, of potatoes to the
acre on his experimental farm. The
Rural editor has, we believe, never ex-
pressed any certainty that there is a
proportionate profit in such intensive
potato-growing; but Mr.. Scott has al
ways claimed that his method of grow
ing hay for winter feeding is practical
and profitable. The average farmer of
the present day seems to be man who
far prefers to get fifty tons of hay from
one hundred acres of land rather than
from twenty acres. High, intensive
farming is something he doesn't under
stand nor believe in as thing that
can be generally or profitably done.
Probably this will always remain the
case until increase of population forces
American farmers to snug up," and
small farms at once confine their ener-
gies and develop them.
We are led into this vein of thought
by Mr.. Copeland's account of the
effects of rowen as fed to his cow. AS
we have ourself been snugged up"
to a twelve-acre farm for many years,
we have learned some of the possibili-
ties of " a little farm well titled" and
know by experience how much more
milk and beef there are in short and
thick grass, when dried, than in hay
that is tall, thin and gone to seed.
There is lesson here which perhaps
some young farmer may take to heart
and profit by.

Neatness in Woman.

A woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in various ways,
but if she is not personally neat she
cannot hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern.
A young woman with her hair always
in disorder and her clothes hanging
about her as if suspended from prop
is always repulsive. Slattern is written
on her person from the crown of her
head to the soles of her feet, and if she
wins a husband he will in all probability
turn out either an idle fool or drunken
ruffian. The bringing up of daughters
to be able to work, act and talk like
honest, sensible young women is the
especial task of all mothers, and in the
industrial ranks there is imposed also
the prime obligation of learning how to
respect household work for its own sake
and the comfort and happiness it will
bring in the future. Housework is
drudgery, but it must be done by some
body, and had better be well than i'll
done

How to SIeep.

The following paragraph is credited
to an unnamed scientific Journal"
Hunters, children and wild men sleep
with the spine upward; so, indeed, do
all animals save civilized man. 1t has
been noticed that the Arabian jugglers
and show people always turn over on
their breasts to sleep. 1t seems to be
the natura way. A dog, cat or a
horse would die if forced to lie on its
back. The spine and the great amount
of nerve tissue about it are the most
sensitive parts of the body; and the
continued pressure of the stomach,
heart, intestines and other organs on
these nerves must in time, it would
seem, work injury. The spine and
nerves, too, are abnormally heated in
the common way of resting. Some able
physicians declare that turning on the
breast to sleep will relieve backache
and allow the nerve stimulant to flow
vigorously from its centers, thus curing
Indigestion. The habits of sleep will
not be easily changed in this respect,
but practice will overcome the difficulty
in time.
1t is quite safe to leave some things
to nature, and our position in sleep is
one of them. Observation shows that
while it is as proper as it is natural to
change ourposition in bed occasionally,
most people sleep chiefly upon the right
side. They feel most comfortable so,
and there is good physiological reason
for it, since that position keeps the
weigh. of the liver and right lung from
pressing upon the heart. Sleeping on
the back brings pressure upon the great
bloodvessels and has tendency to
cause unpleasant dreams. Yet vigor-
Gus, strong-fibred people can sleep any
way. AS for sleeping face downward,
it has the advantage of taking all
weight off from the heart and large
blood-vessels and feeble people will
often get to sleep easiest in this posi-
ton, but it twists the neck uncomfort-
ably, and as soon as they fall asleep
they instinctively roll little so as to
be more on the right side. We should
like to know how the writer quoted
found out that it will kill cats and
dogs to be forced to lie on their backs.

" Mr.. Editor:-I have a COW eight
years old next spring. She is cross
between Jersey and Durham. l put
her up to winter feed about the first of
November in ordinary flesh. fed her
rowen hay till the Doth of December.
She was then in very high fesh-very
fat. In one month after the Goth of
of November she made twenty-eight
pounds of butter, which shows the high
value of rowen for a mich cow. think
it quite remarkable, in view of the fol-
lowing facts: First, she dropped her
last calf twenty-five months ago, and
her next calf will be due the last of
February. Second, she had not a quart
of meal or any kind of grain during the
whole time. She made her high con-
dition and butter wholly from rowen
hay and few waste scraps.
A. j. COPELAND, Chelsea, Vt"
REMARKS BY THE AGRICULTURAL
EDITOR.-The value of grass leaves,
compared with grass stems, in regard to
their nutritive value as cattle feed is
very little comprehended, either by
farmers or by agricultural scientists.
The very remarkable results reported
by Mr. Amasa Scott of Craftsbury, VT,
in feeding both for butter and for beef,
using only hay made of young grass
not fully headed out, of which he cuts
three crops in season, ought to have
attracted much more attention than
they have done, especially in Vernon
and in Mr.. Scott's own neighborhood
We have never heard Mr.. Scott's reli
ability impeached, although we have
long lived in the same county, ant
have repeatedly printed reports of hi
results, furnished to us partly by him
self, but mostly by the late Mr.. Il. E
Jameson of Irasburgh, who was wei
acquainted with him. AS we under
stand it, Mr.. Scott fed little else to hi
milk cows and beeves but this "drie'
grass" as he calls it. With this fee
he several times got between four hun
dred and five hundred pounds of butte
in year from ordinary " scrub " cows
and made good beef with it surprising
easy and quick. Our books and file
containing the exact records on this sub
ject are not just now accessible, or W
would reprint the particulars. Nh
Scott is not only farmer, but mel
chant who appreciates the importanc
of exact work, and all his figures i
this connection are very instructive
But the main lesson of his experiment.
and the one he is fondest of emphasi;
ing, is the far greater digestibiity an
nutritive effect of young grass, and {
hay made from it, over any other kin
of feed for cattle.
Perhaps one reason why there are s
few 1--WE are not sure of one) who hay
followed in Mr.. Scott's track in tn
matter is the necessity of first maxim
the grass field rich, and then seeding
rightly and perfectly, before grass tn
will yield over ton to the acre at ea'

oh, palms that bow before the gale
Until its peaceful ending,
Teach us your yielding linked with strength,
Your graceful art offending.
For every tree mus meet the storm
Each heart encounter sorrow;
Teach us, like you, to bow, that we
May stand erectto-morrow.
For there is strength In humble grace
Its wise disciples shielding
And he is strong who understands
The happy art of yielding.
